I\u2019ve always had the less-is-more mentality. I never knew there was a name for this until discovering minimalism.<\/p>\n
One of my favorite definitions of minimalism is this one by Leo Babauta:<\/a><\/p>\n “It\u2019s simply getting rid of things you do not use or need, leaving an uncluttered, simple environment and an uncluttered, simple life.”<\/em><\/p>\n At its core minimalistic living is the act of getting rid of everything you don\u2019t value so that your life is grounded in the things you love and value the most. Because of this there are no set rules or one-size-fits-all approaches.<\/p>\n Minimalism is all about uncluttering the bad from your life to leave room for the good. And there are some other serious benefits that come a long with it!<\/p>\n One of the most obvious and perhaps one of the biggest reasons people are drawn toward minimalism is the potential for savings.<\/p>\n When you keep the goal of only spending money on the things that will truly bring value to your life you\u2019ll find yourself spending much less money. This is especially true if you\u2019ve come from a cluttered home and then get to feel the joy of being surrounded in only things that are special or useful to you.<\/p>\n When it is time to purchase or replace new items you\u2019ll likely find yourself investing in quality over quantity, saving you money in the long run.<\/p>\nFinancial Savings<\/h2>\n
